Local councilor, no reason to think notable. A few  non-substantial sources   DGG ( talk ) 02:00, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Snow Keep By long-standing convention here, members of the UK Baronetcy, even life-peers, are inherently notable. This is is a misguided application and should be withdrawn. Rodhull  andemu  02:03, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep She's a recently appointed member of the national legislature of the United Kingdom. We routinely allow creations of new articles for national politicians to stand despite a dearth of information upon their joining the institution, whether by election or appointment (for example with this body, the House of Lords, and the Canadian Senate). -Rrius (talk) 02:09, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Snow Keep - Nominations for deletion coming the same day the subject was appointed to the House of Lords are unlikely to be successful.Minnowtaur (talk) 02:56, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: I'm a little puzzled here: UK baronets are not necessarily notable, nor are they peers, nor are they members of parliament and they never were. Is she a baronet, or a life peer? I'm looking for the source for her actually being a life peer.  DGG ( talk ) 03:30, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * weak keep I have found and added a number of factoids that I think together are the equivilent of "more than passing" coverage. In particular, she seems to have been one of the movers and shakers in the conservative party regarding women candidates. Active Banana (talk) 03:41, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * "factoids" are pretty much a synonym for non-significant coverage   DGG ( talk ) 03:43, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
